Okay - what exactly is the order you are trying? The way nSync woks for
me is that I first start it on both the mac and the newton. I then
click synchronize on the mac, which waits for a connection. I then have
the newton try to connect, while nsync on the mac is waiting for a
connection.

It sounds like you would have the right ip address entered into the
newton, also make sure that if you have a firewall between the newton
and the mac on the network, or if the built in firewall on mac os is
turned on (System Preferences-Sharing-Firewall), that these firewalls
allow the port that nSync is using to go through to the mac.

Good luck!
